Microsoft's free Windows Defender for your anti spyware.
I use Microsoft's free FIREWALL and WINDOWS DEFENDER, both which comes with Vista.
If you have Windows XP, you must download WINDOWS DEFENDER.
Once set up Windows Defender updates automatically with the rest of Microsoft products.
Other advantages of Defender is that you may click on:
Tools, then:
1. Options; Automatically scan my computer at certain times.
2. Software Explorer; Show your Startup programs.
3. Windows Defender Website;
